OKADA Manila’s La Piazza, the Forbes 5-star destination’s signature Italian restaurant, has earned Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence for the third consecutive year, reaffirming its place among the world’s notable dining destinations for wine and underscoring the consistent quality of its wine program year after year.

Presented by Wine Spectator, one of the world’s leading authorities on wine, the Restaurant Awards honor dining establishments with outstanding wine programs. The Best of Award of Excellence recognizes wine lists with strong regional variety, notable selections from respected producers, thoughtful presentation and knowledgeable service.

Among only 15 Philippine restaurants included in this year’s list, La Piazza’s third consecutive win reflects a wine experience that has been carefully maintained, shaped by a strong list, thoughtful pairings and attentive recommendations at the table.

At La Piazza, the recognition affirms a wine program built for both depth and discovery. Its list features 475 selections and an inventory of 1,350 bottles, with choices spanning Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux, California, Italy, Spain and other celebrated wine regions.

The program is thoughtfully assembled to enhance La Piazza’s menu, from handmade pastas to Italian signatures made for sharing. For guests, this means every bottle can be selected with care, with sommeliers ready to recommend pairings that complement a dish, mark an occasion or introduce a new favorite.
